A researcher is studying whether being a smoker causes people to get colds more
often. Classify each method as a survey, an experiment, or an observational study.
Then explain which method would be the most reliable.
Method A: Choose people who already smoke and who do not and monitor how
many colds they get in a period of years.
Method B: Choose 100 people at random. Have 50 people smoke regularly for six
months and 50 people not smoke for six months. Then monitor how many of the 100
people get colds within the next six months.
Method C: Ask people who currently have a cold whether or not they smoke.
Tell whether each method of gathering data is a survey, an observational study, or an
experiment. Which option would give the most reliable results?
The following correlation coefficient values come from five different linear regression models. Which
model "fits" the data the best?
D -8
0.50
00
0.99
O -1
In a hypothesis test, a small value for the sample variance increases the likelihood that a statistically significant treatment
effect will be detected.
O True
O False

- In a statistics class, the standard deviation of the heights of all students was 3.9 inches. The standard deviation of the heights of males was 3.5 inches and the standard deviation of females was 3.4 inches. Why is the standard deviation of the entire class more than the standard deviation of the males and females considered separately? Choose the correct answer below. OA. The smaller sample size results in a smaller sample standard deviation. OB. The distribution of the heights for the entire class generally has more spread than the distribution of the heights of the individual sexes. OC. There is more dispersion in the heights of the male and female samples than the heights of the entire class. OD. The sample sizes of the male students and female students are less than the sample size of the entire class.arrow_forwardWhat is the F, df, and p values for each dependent variable mean?

The recommended dosage for the flu shot is 0.5mL. The local health authorities define all syringes that have less than 0.45ml or more than 0.55mL as defective. In a sample of 100 syringes, the hospital’s quality control officer finds the average dosage to be 0.5mL. The standard deviation of the dosage is 0.02 mL and the distribution of the dosages resembles a normal distribution reasonably closely. What percentage of the manually filled syringes will be outside the specification limits provided by the local health authorities? (Please answer in decimal form.) 1 pointarrow_forward
- The director of research and development is testing a new drug. She wants to know if there is evidence at the 0.05 level that the drug stays in the system for more than 399 minutes. For a sample of 81 patients, the mean time the drug stayed in the system was 401 minutes. Assume the standard deviation is known to be 21. Step 1 of 5: Enter the hypotheses: Step 2 of 5: Enter the value of the z test statistic. Round your answer to two decimal places. Step 3 of 5: Specify if the test is one-tailed or two-tailed.

A new license training method using Computer Aided Instruction (CAI) has been proposed. A researcher used the technique with 100 students and observed that they had a mean of 102 hours. Assume the variance is known to be 16. A level of significance of 0.05 will be used to determine if the technique performs differently than the traditional method. Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Enter the value of the test statistic.arrow_forwardA manufacturing company produces steel rods. The length of these rods is critical to their customers. The company aims to manufacture rods with a mean length of 150 cm. However, due to variability in the manufacturing process, the lengths of the rods follow a normal distribution. The company's quality control department samples 30 rods and finds that they have a mean length of 151 cm and a standard deviation of 2 cm. Calculate the Process Capability Index (Cp) and the Process Performance Index (Ppk) for this process. Assume the customer's specification limits are 147 cm and 153 cm for the length of the rods.arrow_forward
